American soldiers are upset about the treatment given to Howard Dean’s deceased brother after being found by a government agency whose job it is to recover the bodies of American soldiers killed in war, Drudge reported yesterday.
And for good reason–Dean’s brother never served. He was merely a civilian killed by the Vietcong while touring Laos with a friend. But that didn’t stop him from receiving preferential treatment.
Active duty soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines are upset over being forced take part in a military repatriation ceremony today for remains believed to be those of the non-military brother of presidential candidate Howard Dean, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
…
JPAC was pressured to not only recover his brother’s remains, but to bump Dean’s recovery over numerous other MIA’s who actually died fighting for their country, a well-placed military source tells the DRUDGE REPORT.
Not quite nepotism, but close enough.
